Dobson Scholarship Robert Bruce Dunlap Memorial Scholarship Elizabeth M. Dusseau Scholarship Privately Funded Scholarships The CEW Scholarship Program for returning women students was established in 1970 to honor the academic performance and potential of returning women students whose education had been interrupted and to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the admission of women to the University of Michigan. Thanks to the generosity of individuals and foundations, CEW has awarded over 1,400 scholarships since 1970. CEW Scholarship Awards are invaluable, since they often mean the difference between completing a degree or not doing so for many students at the University of Michigan. Due to the generosity of donors, CEW was able to expand the program in 2008 to include additional scholarships for male and female students on the Ann Arbor campus. Eligibility Awards are given at the graduate, professional, and undergraduate levels to students whose education has been interrupted. The interruption must be at least 48 months whether consecutive or cumulative (interruptions less than 8 months cannot be counted). The interruption may have taken place at any point in the pursuit of higher education (i.e. a four year interruption between high school and community college before attending the University of Michigan). Please review other interruption examples on our website www.cew.umich.edu. Applicants may already be attending the University and still be eligible. Applicants should be pursuing a clear educational goal in any academic or professional program, full or part-time, at any campus of the University of Michigan. Submission of an application may precede admission, but admission to the University of Michigan is a prerequisite for consideration by the Scholarship Selection Committee and must be confirmed by April 30, 2013. A student may not receive a CEW Scholarship and a CEW Fellowship in the same year. Students are eligible to receive only one CEW Scholarship in their lifetime.
